iMOM - Moms of Toddlers - Moving to a New Home: Part 1
iMOM - Moms of Toddlers - Moving to a New Home: Part 1
My husband and I will be moving with our daughter and our yello lab Ginger. We have recently filed for bankruptcy because we decided it was the best decision for us considering what situation we were under with our mortgage. Yes, we are one of those couples, who rushed into buying a brand new home and then about two months after we moved in, the housing market crashed. And as a result we are upside down in out mortgage. Over the past two years, we tried everything from the Obama plan to applying for help to refinance through our mortgage company. With no luck what-so-ever. So here we are, getting ready to attend our court hearing, and once they have approved our bankruptcy it could be anywhere from 3 months to 8 months until we will have to move. When it happens though, I really would like to get our daughter prepared as much as possible for the move out of the only home she knows and into a new one. Maybe not even a permanent one. We may be renting an apartment or another house for a couple of years until we can qualify for a mortgage again. This article was vey helpful to help me get some ideas about how to prepare ourselves as well as our daughter for our upcoming move.

iMOM - Moms of Toddlers - Complaining: How To Stop It
I have a great article for you Mom's out there who are at their whit's end with all fo the whining and complainging your toddler(s) are doing on a daily basis! My three year old daughter is very stubborn and really get lazy when it comes time to do something or get something she wants. When she doesn't get it right away, she gets frusterated and immediately starts to whine and complain. Well the first few times I can handle it with a calm attitude, but after about 25 minustes of non-stop whining, I used to kinda lose my temper and yell at her. But recently, I have been trying to stay calm and think about why she is REALLY whining. Maybe it's because she's not feeling well, or she's tired or hungry? Sometime it's beacuase she missed her Daddy because he's at work, or I am about to leave for work and she doesn't want me to go. So, I redirect the attention to asking her questions about how she's feeling, and most of the time sho will forget about why she was whining and tell me what's really bothering her. Then I try to help her feel better by fixing the REAL problem instead of giving into the "thing" she wants so badly that I have said no to.

Give Me More!
I love to spend time with my family. It gives me great joy to have my husband and my in-laws in my life right now. I love being with my parents also. Seeing them watch my daughter grow is amazing. Tonight we visited Dad in the hospital. He is recovering with a few stumblws along the way, but I think he will be doing better after this weekend. Then, my husband and our daughter met my Mother-In-Law for a late dinner at Applebees. It was a really nice dinner. I had a bowl of extremely hot French Onion soup with the cheese extra crispy, of course. And a Island Salad, which was one of their Weight Watchers dishes. It was Delish!
No we are home and my husband and daughter are in bed. I am about to watch a bit of TV before I hit the sack. Tomorrow we are getting our passports so we can be ready for that on the cruise we will be goin on in April with my husband and his family!
